Spooks: Apple's entire computer range
Kudos has to be given to, erm, Kudos, the TV production company that makes Spooks for the BBC. It's done a sterling job of including Apple computers in each episode, with Macs proving vital in MI5's neverending struggle to protect America's oil interests. The baddies use PCs, of course, so keep an eye out for an occasional Panasonic Toughbook waging war on freedom.
This shot, taken from the second season, is just one of the many times we got to see a free Apple advert during the show's early episodes. Later on, the BBC got a bit itchy about it, stickers started appearing over logos and other PCs were shown too.
Real product placement is illegal in the UK, so this was just a result of a fairly lazy production team who just wanted something shiny and easy on the eye and happened to have a few Macs lying around.
It's refreshing to know that no matter what predicament the Earth faces, somewhere out there is a geek with a Macintosh waiting to make it all better -- and a little prettier too.
